Oh how the world would have been different if Rdio hadn't been acquired and killed by Pandora. It's recommendations were perfect.

Rdio went bankrupt, and sold assets to Pandora as part of that process. It wasn’t bought and killed.

Fuck they were the ones killed it. I don’t remember how the recommendations compared but Rdio’s UX was miles ahead. Pandora really should have abandoned their frontend and went all in on Rdio.
